A line of at least twenty people with their hair side by side, shoulder to shoulder close together and sorted by size to form a visual wave in their stillness. You have to imagine this wave suddenly changing to an agitated position. This transition from immobility to agitation will be caused by a sound wave. Producing a common gesticulation of the head, a common movement of the hair as if these twenty or so people belonged to a single organ or animal, the fur of a long-haired creature.

 

To make the wave perceptible as it passes through the fur of the beast, suddenly, in the middle of the city, in the middle of ordinary bustle, in the middle of people going about their business.
